Member Review

The Writers' Union is a refuge - an occasional one to be sure, but a kind of home nonetheless - for a lot of people who practise an often solitary craft. It's a place populated by people who tend to understand what that's like.

BC member Annette LeBox announces the release of Peace is an Offering (Dial Books/ PenguinRandom House, New York) a picture book about the ways kids and adults can find peace in small acts of kindness.

We acknowledge the support of the Ontario Arts Council (OAC), an agency of the Government of Ontario, which last year funded 1,681 individual artists and 1,125 organizations in 216 communities across Ontario for a total of $52.8 million.
